Synopsis

"Entering the period as a man hits forty...
What is it that causes the greatest pain, the greatest agony, the greatest fear?"

Three flatmates and good friends: Wai Fook Wing (Alex Fong), Chan Ping Gei (Chin Ka Lok) and Loh Ka Fai (Cheung Chi Kwong) are about to meet the psychological barrier of middle age and each has their problems with 'men at forty'...

Once a legend in the advertising creative world, Wing's performance has not been as strong as it once was and his position is gradually being taken over by his younger and brighter superior Kelly Kwan Zhi Kei (Charmaine Sheh). Kei is a perfectionist with her work and often criticises Wing, but when the two are alone, she becomes a very reliant and vulnerable girl, putting Wing into the unprecedented position of confusion and concern...

Gei is the king of the tutoring world and on the outside he portrays a playboy who sheds his love without a thought. However, the only one he thinks about is his former wife Yuen Siu Mui (Shirley Yeung). One day, a girl arrives claiming to be his daughter and causes this player in the world of love to become totally helpless...

Fai is dedicated to his acting and will not inherit his father's business, causing much friction between the two. In his love life he has failed on many occasions and his career is not seen to be getting anywhere. On a charity performance one day, he meets superstar Mok Hiu Nam (Anne Heung) and they argue their way to friendship...
